[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Markakis

 

[salmagundy]

I would have sat Swanson in favor of Camargo at SS because of wrist.His swing looked forced, not free and easy, in the AB after rolling over the wrist on the play at 3rd.

 

[Heyward]

Fried, holy ****.

 

[50PoundHead]

We had a pitcher throw less than 12 pitches in an inning. I have to look out the window and see if the Apocalypse is upon us.

 

[Enscheff]

2 straight hanging sliders to Donaldson that didn't get crushed.

Darvish is living dangerously.

 

[Enscheff]

If Acuna is so good, and is protecting Freeman in the lineup, why does Freeman already have 7 BBs?

It's almost like the idea of "protection" is moronic.

 

[CyYoung31]

Can Acuna get anymore unlucky?

 

[UNCBlue012]

Man, Acuna is hitting everything hard

 

[Heyward]

Acuna scorched that, more rotten luck

It's almost like the idea of "protection" is moronic.

I still think our best lineup is to have Acuna/JD/FF in the top 3 but that probably puts Nick in the cleanup spot again, oy.

It's almost like the idea of "protection" is moronic.

Even if protection works (I think it probably does a bit), Acuna is going to have to prove himself more than he has to make pitchers fear him more than they do Freeman.

 

[Dalyn]

What a pitch.

 

[CyYoung31]

This motha ****a right heeya...

 

[Heyward]
